The oops can be triggered in qemu using -no-hpet (but not nohpet) by
reading a couple of pages past the end of the vdso text. This should send
SIGBUS instead of OOPSing.

x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 32 bit kernel
which is new in 3.15.
This will be fixed separately in 3.15, but that patch will not apply to
tip/x86/vdso. This is the equivalent fix for tip/x86/vdso and,
presumably, 3.16.
